What an interesting discussion! :D Mental disorders are one of my favorite things to think about with my version, I’m actually going to make that the next subject of my Werewolf Guide whenever I get around to drawing the next picture for it. My wolves don’t have it easy in the mental illness departm...

An interesting thought that came to me earlier today- what would happen if the version of werewolves you have designed for yourself were to encounter a completely different creature that could still be called a “werewolf?” In my werewolf story there aren’t a whole lot of other similar creatures for ...

I know there’s been at least one book written about this subject, though I can’t remember the name. It’s supposed to be pretty funny from what I’ve heard. The way my version works biting a wolf wouldn’t do anything to it. The bite is only designed to change humans, so it has no effect on animals. I ...

[ Shapeshifters Secret Meeting ] { *All present members have changed into Animal forms for introductions, except for group leader and member "Frank" who is introducing the new guy* *New guy looks freaked out and his hand is shaking, but it doesn't appear to be from Fear* ... That would be...

Very good looking resources. I am especially interested in Passion in the Dessert. It sounds just like a very old short story I read a while ago (written somewhere around 1900, I think). It was a very unusual story for the time, much more compassionate view towards wild animals than I think most peo...

Female here. I was actually expecting there to be more women. I’ve seen polls on other art or animal loving sites where the membership is, like, 95% female. I guess guys just love werewolves.

I have no idea if gender has played any sort of role in it for me. I’ve often shared my werewolf interest with friends and family, and even occasionally joked with them that I want to be a werewolf, but I’ve always just assumed that they would think I was weird no mater if I was a guy or a girl. :P ...

I agree, it’s probably due more to old stereotypes than anything else. Men are simply more likely to be monsters in most stories. To me I think they are usually more interesting because I can see them embracing their wolf side more and being more vicious with it (especially when put in the role of v...

Interesting topic. Hmm, I suppose the best jobs would be the ones that would allow the werewolf to harness the good aspects of its animal senses, and perhaps keep it closer to nature. It would also depend on the werewolf’s personality of course- some of my characters don’t mind working in a cubicle ...

Interesting idea, I hadn’t thought of that too much. I guess my version would probably be considered overly convenient to most, because I basically put it together from all the various ideas that seemed like the most fun to me. :wink: Being magic based with a bit of biology thrown in, they basically...

I can’t even remember how I first became interested in werewolves. It probably had something to do with reading myths and folklore, which would occasionally include stories about werewolves. My interest in mythology predated my viewing of many of the classic werewolf movies such as The Wolf Man, so ...

What's ironic about that is that possibly the most positive portrayal of wolves in literature ( The Jungle Book ) is set in India. True, Kipling was able to see some of the social complexity and tenderness in wolves long before most of the rest of the world thought that way about them. That’s one o...

Is it still all weird and glitchy? I gave up a while ago because the glitches and controls were too much to work around.

I like the name HollyWolf. I’ve been calling the movie versions “Hollywood Werewolves,” “Movie Werewolves,” or “Bipedal Werewolves” for a long time now, but I can see how those terms might not be specific enough. HollyWolf could be used to describe any that closely follows the Lon Chaney Jr. version...

Interesting. I do seem to remember that wolves over most of Asia were disliked as much as they were in most of Europe, though Asia doesn't have quite as many werewolf stories. They certainly aren’t doing very well in India right now.

Sounds like an interesting idea. Werewolves have already been given a zillion different names ever since the first person thought them up however many years ago that was, since each country or region developed their own name and unique definition of how they would look and act. I see no reason for t...

I like the idea of using Hindu mythology in a story. You don’t see people doing that very often. Makes me wish I had some more books on global mythology, I don’t think any of my currant ones focus on India.

I’ve asked for werewolf books for the past few years, but sometimes my family forgets and gets me vampire stuff instead. Why do those two get confused so easily? :? This year I’m not getting anything big from them, but if I get a bit of money I might buy myself a werewolf book (been looking at one c...

Can’t remember if I’ve actually been called a werewolf, but my obsession with werewolves has creeped a few people out. All of the horror stories I read and write have a few people wondering about me. Plus I have unusually pointed canine teeth, but no one else seems to notice them. One of my cousins ...

I’ve got something like this in my version, but I haven’t developed it in much detail yet. They aren’t really werewolf hunters, but rather an independent group funded by the government (USA) to secretly research werewolves and figure out how to use their abilities to the government’s advantage (imag...

As fun as it sounds, there is no way I could ever believe it would be possible.

I need to see The Howling again. I saw it about 2 years ago or something like that, and all I remember is the kids at the end saying “Oh look, the news lady is turning into a werewolf.” Which I found hilarious. :lol: Bad Moon is still one of my favorites. I’ve actually seen it more than almost any o...

Hey Celestialwolf. I can see that you've been here for quite a while.

Yeah, deviantArt is a great site. Good for keeping in touch with people since everyone seems to use it these days.
